    I'm studying industrial design here in Mexico! Definitely didn't have to build a portfolio to get into my school (here in Mexico universities usually don't ask for one) but still I find it necessary to have one just to evaluate myself as I progress. Loved this video.

    Here in Sweden it's pretty different in requirements. The schools often give you assignments mandatory to do. Some of them longer like design a "safe bus stop for the 2020s or/and an onboard care package not containing more than 100 ml of shampoo, soap and toothpaste for the brand Norwegian. Some more shorter like draw a bowl of fruit and some requirements can be like minimum of 5 drawings and 3 paintings
    This together witch a portfolio off earlier works and even so the portfolios ar often limited by number of pages and it can be as little as 6 compared with what you showed which was quite long

    Amazing again to see this when I'm preparing my portfolio! Actually if I have no design background before, do u still think showing skills are important as well? Another thing is, how do you choose what school you want to go? have u heard about Design Academy Eindhoven? :))

    • @myrinj
      @myrinj  6 лет назад +6

      Show skills that you think are relevant. What they want to see is that you are hardworking and that you are naturally creative.
      I chose my school because it was rated the best in the country and it had a focus on 'human-centered design' which I think is important. It wasn't just about aesthetics and making products look nice, but rather about how they function and how humans would use them.
      No, I haven't heard about Design Academy Eindhoven. Sorry.

      I was actually homeschooled, but if you want to get into Industrial Design, then takes classes where you get to make things. If you get practice using tools like 3D printers, laser cutter, and CNC machines you will have a huge advantage when you go to uni.

      @@moonlight-bg7gy No, Engineering and Graphic Designing these both fields are very much different from each other. Though if you want to pursue your career in designing you can start with some online courses offered by Udemy, Coursera, Skillshare and many other or can have guidance through youtube too. There are so many channels for designing that can help you with that. Or you can pursue master's in Graphic Designing. I hope I have helped you some way!!!

    Would you recommend this university to others? I'm thinking about this uni but I live in Australia so I would probably have to move, so what do you think makes it a better choice than others?

    • @myrinj
      @myrinj  6 лет назад +9

      Yes, I would totally recommend AUT. It is a great place to study for the following reason. First, AUT (Auckland University of Technology) is kind of for New Zealand what MIT is for America. It is very focused on technology, engineering, science, design, and entrepreneurship which I love. We have our own Drone room, our own a marine research ship, and even our own radio telescopes which we sometimes rent out to Space X for their missions. Second, we are a relatively young university (17 years) which means we are way more agile than your traditional university (100+ years). The future is changing fast and we are a university that can keep up with it. I mean, for example, AUT is paying me to vlog because they saw my content as a great, new authentic way to show what the uni is like. I doubt any other university would let me do that. Finally, the entrepreneurial spirit is really encouraged here. They have a department dedicated to helping and funding students who want to start their own ventures.
      So, if you want a university that is very hands-on and practical as well as academic then it would totally be worth the move. I am loving it here. It is a really exciting place to study. Hope this helps (and I am not getting paid extra to say this). This is my honest view. :)
      All the best,
      Jacob

    Hey Myrin I’m a 12th grade high school student from India.I was having some doubts regarding to portfolio for Industrial design:1.Are you an undergraduate student or postgraduate student in design school? 2.How should I work up with my portfolio if I’m applying for design schools abroad? 3.How I should apply for design schools out of India? 4.Is it cheaper to apply for postgraduate program or undergraduate program? 5.It should include my work related to Industrial design only or I can try works from other fields as well? 6.My work needs to be of professional grade if as Iwant to apply for undergraduate programs in design? If possible,can you please make video for that,it would turn up to be very helpful for me and other Indians.If not please reply in comments.🙂🙂

    I'm sorry but if someone already knows how to do all those things than what's the point of getting into school? I'm sorry, I'm Greek and in my country design studies are not very development or it might be that we're not so much educated on it. It's just that... I was hoping to learn all these amazing and cool things you show in your video but it just seems too overwhelming to know how to do all those things before getting into school. Where did you learn all these skills?

    • @myrinj
      @myrinj  6 лет назад +4

      All the stuff that is in this portfolio was self-taught over a period of years.
      Don't be overwhelmed. I had the luxury of having a lot of good design content to draw upon from my failed startup. You probably won't need as much for your portfolio. They mainly want to see that you are creative and hard-working. You don't have to be super skilled before university.
      Include things like projects you made, your artwork, 3D models and stuff like that.
      I hope this helps
